Why does my senior cat vomit after every meal? What can I do?

Question

We have a 13-year-old Maine Coon car who vomits almost every time he eats. He has been doing I️t for years but we recently moved into a new house with cream carpet in part of the house and I️t is where he likes to be. It has become a huge problem for us. We have tried special cat food from a local independent store that is suppose to help with digestive issues. After six months or more, it doesn’t appear to have made much if any difference. Suggestions? Pet's info: Cat | Maine Coon | Male | neutered | 13 years and 11 months old | 21 lbs

It is not normal for a cat to vomit that frequently, so your cat may have inflammatory bowel disease or another type of chronic gastrointestinal disease. Since it has been going on for so, a diet change may not be enough at this point. The ideal situation would be to have your veterinarian do some testing to determine what is causing the vomiting. If that is not an option, then I would discuss treatment options with your veterinarian. There are a number of medications that may be able to resolve the vomiting. Good luck! I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
